Early Decision

Early Decision (ED) is a binding application. Students who apply for ED and are accepted must attend Becker College provided they receive a reasonable financial aid package. Students applying ED must submit all admission application credentials by November 15th. ED applicants who are interested in applying for need-based financial aid can visit our financial aid webpage. Students accepted in ED will be notified by December 15th; students will also receive a financial award letter by this time. Students who are not admitted in ED will have their file reviewed with the Regular Decision applicant pool; these students may be requested to submit additional paperwork (updated grades, recommendations).

Early Action

Early Action (EA) is a non-binding application where students who apply by the stated deadline will receive an earlier response from the Admissions committee. If Becker College is one of the student’s top choices, then they are encouraged to apply Early Action.

Early Action candidates will receive one of two responses: an offer of admission or a deferral to the regular application pool. Students who are deferred to the regular decision pool should request additional materials (updated grades, recommendations) be submitted to the Admissions Office.

Rolling Admission

After the priority deadlines have passed, the Office of Admissions will review applications received on a rolling/space-available basis. This should be taken into consideration when applying. Becker College encourages students to apply in a timely manner as many of our programs have space limitations. Once all required application documents have been received, students can expect to receive an update on their status within three weeks.

Deposit Information

SPRING SEMESTER – Accepted students who intend to enroll for the spring semester must submit a $300 deposit within two weeks of acceptance ($400 for residential students). Deposits are refundable by written request until January 1. Because many of our programs fill quickly and due to on-campus housing demands students are strongly encouraged to confirm their enrollment as soon as possible.

FALL SEMESTER – Accepted students who intend to enroll for the fall semester must submit a $300 deposit by May 1st ($400 for residential students). Deposits will still be accepted after the deadline but because many of our programs fill quickly and due to on-campus housing demands students are strongly encouraged to confirm their enrollment by the stated deadline. Deposits are refundable by written request until May 1.
